Box and lid

A robust box for everyday use

This robust box has so many applications for everyday use and can house any material that you have in your collection. Items, volumes, and bundles can all be boxed to make transportation and long-term storage easy and secure. Boxes can come in a tabbed construction, without the need for adhesive, or we can offer a glued design constructed with EVA.

Both options create a strong, durable box that can hold a lot of weight. Lids can be full or shallow depending on your preferences.

How to measure for boxes and lids

Tabbed boxes have one fold-down side that slides into the folded wall for easier access to fragile or heavy items, unless you request that all walls be fixed. Glued boxes have exposed inner tabs which can rub against material, but tabbed boxes have double-fold walls to enclose them.

For uneven or difficult shapes, or for fragile materials, the box and lid can be lined with Plastazote and stiffeners of flute board can be added to suit your requirements.
